Western suburbs of Melbourne to Perth and back.

This year we are doing the trek West.

We are taking 3 weeks to do around 8000ks and stopping along the way not only to see more of our own backyard, but would like to drop in on some of the members that are on here on our way home even if it's just for a coffee and chat.

This adventure will start after my son's 21st and the following week we have my father's 90th, then we leave the next day. So it's busy busy, then ahh holidays..

Next day was a few stops along the great Australian bight and a stop at overnight at coffin bay. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/304d9ef9ddd05440b002f9ec4a8adf6a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/649fe088e1ce0522b850ffdce559b132.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/cc0f78d5aaae6b416a3ea21964f6b007.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/2ebe4f1a7f92030b5da697db6f3c41e6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/3a0a17c7a601a8b4bace14d51db74f35.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/59dfdc84109a7ee0515742441caf77ce.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/86203427ff1654a2047b2c5309c4b230.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/12943fac726989a918325fffe1bc6d5a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/b51daf6da91630e0ef61e366dcf6a0c6.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/8955489f42e5d7358838d7f119b774d9.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/85a03a507c09e6f392aade088f5a8356.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/fe57ea70f828ebd7871bb99e1552e731.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/e54b1149ab30f1c5a04107a1349e75ba.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/ae29a4f6733f006cf92f41c060c00796.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/82a049f0732133c8074212b4cb111205.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/ec4933f17691c74766c507425a8efe43.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/ece8fcce5feb87e732e9ac051926c673.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/4c98e729cce02f12d44485c3a26397cc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/56ce2b4b42619496179231cb42d89bf1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/afd9b8b5564e70a02cf7229258471728.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/a8fb4c123645f014d9aad52147728c37.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/65b953171ccee6ec97cfb21f0f236d90.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/ef8f743b3778f6ffcfca0624c1f45b9b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/3eec9bf64dffaec75e10fb1e14187ff7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/b528d1aac8b1de169ebba7a307ed753c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/621a074a780843e90b248a1ae811667e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/9345797397a4fe50faa9d5a4be62f012.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/8c530945915399fc9b592be2debb6b93.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/c2d14a60c030da3557ec6a598b52f480.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/8e0868da1387e53561e027e631a4209b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/b76cbe620d5939237abc9e16dd47441d.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/85d8b465a71f48420016ff32d5b1f9a1.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/4199dca338ea9d7d5edee9952689a46a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250923/68d81bbe5e4c60523cdbb48edbd33a3f.jpg

I don't know, but that exhaust don't belong in that JKU.That's gold.

I agree on the exhaust, but he likes it.

The jeep developed a starter motor issue leaving coffin bay. They have family in Adelaide so wanted to get there with only fuel stops. We followed until they had enough fuel and continued on to the barossa valley. An unplanned stop, but a nice one. My sister in law and her husband are here and asked to spend the day with them more wine and chocolate, yeah sure why not..

Seppeltsfield wine.
The son of the original owner put aside one barrel of para tawny and said "is isn't to be opened for 100 years"
They have continued that for every year since 1878. Was so tempted to have a taste, but if I really liked it I would have hated the fact that I wasn't getting the bottle.

Was going to head back home tomorrow, but thought fuck it, let's go back on Sunday.
So now to decide head to mildura or hahndorfhttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250925/8e98ef4ec17e5ea3af614e087a985056.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250925/96bcd4742399bb04390672a9f65e9f0a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250925/4acf48a8dfe0dfd3d1a9be5d5eb57180.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250925/0461d0866786d9ebf0defd998d55f78a.jpg

So we decided on hahndorf, it was a good choice, very busy down the main street. Just to break up the drive and because we haven't been there before we stopped in Mount Gambier for the night before arriving home late this afternoon.
Mount Gambier was pretty cool, didn't see much but blue lake and the sink hole are impressive

Hope you guys have enjoyed the photos.

21 days on the road with a total of 8769kms.
Some days where big 800+while others like the 3 days in Fremantle would've been lucky if we did 30ks. Average km per day 417.

Fuel well let's not go there, I closed my eyes and filled up, nah seriously just over $3200. About the same as last year's trip but more KMs this time.


Plans are on the way for next year.
Camping trip around Tassie or perhaps east coast drive to Brisbane,. [emoji848]
